Those who are using Windows or even a Mac OS are used to having only ONE 
"windows manager". In other words, what you are used to thinking of as 
the operating system is really the sole windows manager that comes 
bundled with your operating system. You are not directly interacting 
with the operating system itself. IF you work at the command line you 
are working closer to the operating system, but even then there is a 
"shell language" involved.

It is different for the 'nix users because they usually have a wide 
choice of windows managers available to them and they tend to be 
passionate about their favorite windows manager. For you to get a sense 
of that, the appearance, etc. of these different windows managers can be 
much farther apart than say Windows vs Mac OS.

So what Anne is saying here is that she can get it working under the 
windows manager "gnome" but not under "mate" and she doesn't like 
:gnome". This is typical of linux users, to have such a very strong 
preference for one over another.
